Here’s a simple and fun painting activity using toy animals! Both my toddler and my 6 year old had so much getting creative with these animals! Even the clean-up afterwards was FUN!!
What we used –
- Paper
- Washable Poster Paint
- Dish sponge to make these DIY Paint Pads
- Plastic toy animals
Simply douse the sponge pads with paint and let the kids stamp their animal’s feet on the paint sponge and then onto the paper. This art activity was filled with lots of imaginative play and animal sounds from the kids…
When they had had enough painting I brought out a container filled with warm soapy water – they spent just as much time cleaning their animals then they did using them to paint!
Sometimes the simplest activities are the best…this is one of those.
We hope you enjoy this activity! Here are some other FUN projects you might like to try –
